Host at Campus Tour During the AACRAO Annual Meeting
A pilot campus visit at the University of Phoenix during the 2016 Annual Meeting yielded positive member feedback—and many attendees expressed interest in future institutional tours. AACRAO is now accepting proposals for Campus Tours/Visits for the 2017 Annual Meeting in Minneapolis. We would like to have several tours scheduled over the four days of the Annual Meeting, showcasing a variety of local institutions. The institution will be responsible for associated expenses including transportation, food, and staff. Submit the proposal form to meetings@aacrao.org.
Join us in April in Minneapolis. Our programming is not to be missed!
